stevenkresno Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Hi Everyone, Couple of weeks ago, i have deleted 2 Folders from my Hard Drive, and i am looking for a way to completely restore the Folder. The 2 Folders were stored on my 6 TB Hard Drive and the 2 Folders were approximately 300 GB large Today i have installed Recuva and performed a "Deep Scan" on the Hard Drive, the Scan took me 3 hours! i had thousands of files in the Folders & Recuva approximately found only 10% of them which are in Excellent Status & Recoverable most of my missing files, Recuva doesn't even show them!!! And on some Files Recuva says "The File is overwritten with..." Can you Guys please help me out and tell me, which Program(s) can recover my Folder/Files Thank you very much!

Moderators mta Posted June 1, 2018 Moderators Share Posted June 1, 2018 not that this is any help on your issue and will be sad news to hear.... but after 2 weeks of that 'freed up space' being in daily use by every single thing you have been using the PC for, even installing new software onto the very drive you are trying to recover from, you chances of recovering anything more than file fragments will be extremely remote in my experience. that's a lot of GB's, what were they, movies, music? can you tackle the issue from another angle - like, what are the chances you had that data backed up? (I think I know the answer) Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

stevenkresno Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 It was Movies & Photos on my Hard Drive, maybe you will laugh now..... but i deleted those 2 Folders "also" from my Other (Backup) Hard Drive I think, i'll have to live with it....that it is not recoverable anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
